Young Explorers Summer Day Camp Series

Young explorers Summer Day Camp Series

Kids entering grades 5-8 have fun making new friends, getting plenty of fresh air and experiencing the beautiful 2,900 acre campus of Saint John’s Prep and Saint John’s University.

Each date is filled with fun group activities that exercise the body, challenge the mind and nurture the spirit of our youth.

Kids will get their hands dirty while participating in an outdoor education program to improve their environmental literacy and emotional connectedness to the natural world. They will learn how to sweepnet for insects in the prairie and do some pond dipping for aquatic invertebrates in Lake Sagatagan.

July 17^th Focus on the Arts:
This session will consist of an introduction to theatre as we spend the morning making new friends, engaging in storytelling activities, and working together to develop and perform original mini-plays. We will then venture “behind the scenes” with a backstage tour of Saint John’s theatre spaces. All skill levels welcome! The second block will bring us into the woods for an introduction to orienteering and hiking through the trails of Saint John’s University.
